Just hoping everyone is safe. There was a lull in the weather between today and yesterday, so I headed out to the Y this morning since they were open and roads were clear. Well, while I was there, it started snowing and road conditions rapidly deteriorated. It was a pretty scary ride home which normally takes me about 10 min. Plus, I just got a new-to-me car, and although I have AWD and am cautious, I don't need anyone to slide into me. People here tend to drive too fast for road conditions. I'm supposed to go to a regional conference. I had planned to just drive on Friday, but I am doubtful the roads will be good by then, worrying about black ice in the morning. School is obviously closed today, and there is no way we will go tomorrow either because this storm is supposed to last at least through the morning on Thurs. It is really snowing pretty hard now. Just hoping for more snow, less sleet and freezing rain. As long as the power stays on, I will be thankful. Happy to be home with DH and kitty. |

We are supposed to get clobbered tonight and tomorrow here in metro DC. Even here, where we are more used to this kind of weather than your area, people drive like maniacs like it's sunny and 80 degrees. It's usually the people with SUV's'/AWD who think that just because they have AWD they don't have to go slowly and be careful...AWD does not help you on ice! We were driving back from Ohio once when it was snowing and icy....an SUV wizzed by us, got a little bit ahead of us and spun out and was all over the freeway.....DH was able to slow down and pull off to the side (or we would have hit him)....we come to a stop and another SUV driver came within literally 1" of hitting us when he spun out of control....then the SUV that had passed us and was sliding in circles ahead of us did get plowed into by another SUV who was cruising along and could not stop in time. Moral of the story---even if you have an SUV/AWD/FWD, drive like you're in a Model T if there's snow and ice. |
Ran into this issue (of other drivers) last week after our big snow. Had to travel on a street that hadn't yet been plowed to an appointment. Many inches of slushy snow on the street. Speed limit is 35, I was doing about 20 and still could feel how slippery it was in my compact car. Car -- not even an SUV-- comes up quickly behind me, and in my rear view I could see that he is fishtailing a bit, but does he keep a safe distance away from me? NOOO, he is tailgating me because I am not going quickly enough to suit him! (my Mom used to say, "And just think, he votes...) |

I am near Raleigh, NC (southeast near the I40-I95 crossing). I just went and cleaned off my car for the third time today. If I measured correctly on the roof of my car, I have 4 inches so far. Right now, it has switched to a sleet/snow mix, supposed to switch back to snow for awhile later then eventually sleet and/or freezing rain overnight. I didn't go to work today because I didn't want to get stuck in Raleigh. Traffic is pure gridlock up that way right now from people who went to work and all left for home at the same time. I was kinda kicking my self around 11 AM because I could have gotten in a half day, but now I'm glad I stayed home! Right now praying for more sleet that freezing rain so I don't lose power since my house is all electric! |
Rare, I am with your mom. Sometimes I wonder how those people have enough sense to tie their own shoelaces. Maybe they use Velcro. We are in a small town in central Georgia and all our trees are icy----every branch is weighted down with ice---and it is windy! We live in the woods and I am hearing trees come down sounding like glaciers breaking apart. I hope they don't come down on the driveway, as it is a bit of a hike without a car. And I just had a fence repaired from the damage caused from a downed 50 ft Leyland Cypress in the last storm. :-( |

We know it's coming so I went food shopping today...what a zoo! The storm is supposed to get here by tomorrow a.m. and last through Friday a.m. Right now they're talking about 6-10" in our area but we don't know how much will be sleet or ice or freezing rain. Such fun! |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 15:47
Straitlover, I am in Charlotte, and we have the same things here. Because there was a lull this morning, many people went to work, but then they all got released at the same time, leading to gridlock. Originally they predicted the snow would start around 11:30, but it actually started around 9:30, which is why I thought I had plenty of time to go to the Y. Kswl, we had our large tree in the back undergo a major pruning about a month ago. Glad we did that! DH and I went out to clear snow off the cars and pull them up further in the driveway. There was at least 4" of snow just from when I got home around 10 a.m. We had some sleet mixing in, but now we seem to be in a lull again. We are supposed to get mostly snow, some sleet, and hopefully minimal freezing rain. |
I'm one of those Yankees who *used* to laugh at southerners dealing with an inch of snow but I get it now. This is serious stuff and I hope everyone stays home and stays safe - and warm if the power holds out. |
I hope everyone stays safe! Such crazy weather this winter...even in New England, where we are used to snow, it's more frequent than usual. We are flying from Boston to Miami Friday afternoon...fingers crossed that our flight doesn't get screwed up (she said selfishly). |
Living in CA for a couple of years now and do not miss the winter weather in the northeast one tiny bit. High 70's and sunny here today ... I'm wearing sandals. I now know and understand why people continue to pay the crazy prices here in CA for homes and taxes ... no snow, no humidity & no bugs. Hope you all stay safe and that you get less bad weather than predicted. |

I am supposed to fly into Dulles tomorrow. To the DC folks, should I bother even packing (coming from KC where we are finally above freezing for the first time in weeks so no bad weather on my end)? My parents are supposed to drive up to pick me up and I can't decide which is the scarier thought, flying into a snowstorm, or the drive to and from the airport! |
- Posted by outsideplaying (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 18:08
In North Alabama here we had just shy of 4" yesterday, which mostly melted today in the rain. But it started a wintry mix about an hour and a half ago, quickly turned to wet, heavy snow, and now the ground is covered. Who knows how much we'll get but it will likely be another 4 inches at least and probably freeze tonight. Schools have been closed for 2 days and will be closed tomorrow. I have been home 2 days as well, and since we are in a rural area and I have to cross a river to get to work, I will stay home if needed. I have AWD, but I don't trust everyone else. Good luck to those traveling by air. Hope everyone stays safe and warm! May be in the 60's his weekend. Alabama...where you can wear snow boots and flip flops in the same week! |
Kellienoelle, I would be willing to bet your parents won't want to drive to Dulles to get you. The airport is in the area with a 8-12 inch range for snow predictions. Depending on your arrival time, it could also be sleeting before turning back to snow. Have you ever used Uber? It is a car service you can access through an app on your phone. Not sure if that would be any better, but it might be a possibility. I would not be surprised if lots of flights into Dulles and National are cancelled. |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 19:08
My flight is canceled and rebooked for a later flight out same day, so arriving at 9:10 PM. I offered to just get a hotel and stay up at the airport until things had calmed down on Friday, but they assured me it wouldn't be necessary. I've used Uber, but I am pretty sure that they wont want to drive me an hour away in a snow storm (or I wont want to pay for it). Remind me again why I am traveling in the winter? |
DD is in college about an hour NE of Atlanta. Her classes were cancelled yesterday, today and also tomorrow. She lives on a hill about 1/2 mile from campus. As I was speaking to her on the phone today she said "Oh there goes some guys sliding down our road in a kayak. Now someone else is using a table." I told her that we used to swipe cafeteria trays to use as sleds. She said if there is any hint of snow at her school, the cafeterias hide all the trays. Hopefully she keeps her power. Here in SE GA we are cold and rainy. |
Yeah...it doesn't matter WHAT the Hell you're driving if you start sliding.... ICE is the great equalizer for anything with wheels. Obviously though...SO FEW people in the middle/southern US seem to grasp this!! Practice-makes-perfect up here though... Faron |
We have had ice and sleet, freezing rain all day. We lost power for most of the day but just got it back! Blessings to all in this winter storm . |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 20:14
LOL on the kayak going down the hill. Cami, sorry you lost power. Things seem to be OK here for now. Just got an email that the regional conference is canceled. They have never done this in my ~20 years of attending, and we have had a fair number of years of bad weather. Really, no one in the region can travel by vehicle or plane. I'm sure the hotel has stranded travelers they can't kick out, plus I'm sure hotel staff can barely report. |

Everyone sounds like they are holding up well in the face of adversity. Here in the Maryland suburbs of DC the event is just getting started. The best course is just to stay home, read a good book, hope the power does not go out, but be prepared if it does, "have food", interjects DH, do the shoveling nice and easy ( bummer- my snow guy is AWOL), and face time with the grands. I hope everyone stays warm and safe. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 21:27
Kellie...I hope you don't get canceled again....last I heard we are supposed to snow on into thurs afternoon. Will be interesting to see how much progress they make clearing the snow. Could even be dicey on Friday. So far everything is shut down tomorrow. Good luck making your way here! |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 21:31
Maryland burbs here too...I went to my neighbors just before 7 and when I left at 7:30 our driveways and walks were already covered...think it's gonna be a big one! |

Kellienoelle, I'm in the DC/Baltimore metro area also. The area west of DC, where Dulles is, is supposed to get walloped, moreso than the eastern suburbs. Even if your flight doesn't get canceled, I'm sure the roads will still be pretty bad at 9pm tomorrow night. You might be better off getting that hotel room, but I'd book one now just in case since there are going to be loads of stranded travelers all looking for hotel rooms (as well as people who may lose power and need a warm room). Dh had the misfortune of being on a business trip to L.A., returning tomorrow afternoon. When this storm started to look more promising, I called him yesterday morning and told him he might want to try leaving today. He skipped his last meeting, rebooked his flight (he was supposed to go thru Atlanta of all places!) through Houston and then on to BWI arriving at 11pm this evening. Then I got a call this morning from United saying his Houston-BWI portion was canceled and they put him on a flight tomorrow morning getting in around noon. Before he got on the flight to Houston, they told him they rebooked him to Chicago from Houston and now he's not supposed to get in until 5pm tomorrow night. Same time as his original flight! I'm certain he'll end up getting stuck in Chicago tomorrow night. Totally sucks - Houston for one night then Chicago the next. He should've just stayed in L.A. until Friday! But he was worried it would be really hard to get home at that point with all the cancellations and rebookings. I hope you make it here. Better to get here and stay the first night in a hotel than being constantly rebooked! Where are you flying in from? And Joanie, last I heard, the snow is supposed to continue into the evening but not sure how much into the evening. I'm in Annapolis so right near the rain/snow line. Which always means more rain, less snow, though this time the rain is supposed to be sleet which could really be a mess for the roads! I'm just praying we don't lose power. Been steadily snowing here for nearly 3 hours. Good luck to all in the path of this storm! |

Sounds like a big storm, you guys alI stay safe and sound at home with a pot of chili, a fire, and a good book. I am flying in from Kansas City, where we have very nice weather coming up (after our own storm last week and quite a cold snap). It is a direct flight, so if the airport remains open and flight isn't canceled I think we'll be OK. I went ahead and booked a room at the Dulles Marriott just in case we make it into the area but can't make it to our destination (which is even more southwest from Dulles). If not, fingers crossed that they can put us on one of the Friday flights, I imagine quite a few folks to be rescheduled. I just hope for snow only, ice is such a nightmare. We are flying in because my parents have sold our family home and built a new house. So they are so excited to show it off to me and to my sister, who is supposed to be driving down from New York. My mom is pretty disappointed about this setback, so hopefully we all make it in! |
- Posted by fourkids4us (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 5:27
Kellienoelle, i so hope you make it today. I just heard on the news that united has canceled all flights in and out of Dulles until at least 7pm tonight. Not sure what airline you are using but I'm sure other airlines will be following suit unfortunately. They've already had a ton of snow. Here in annapolis east of DC, we probably have 5" or so but it has changed over to sleet and the wind is really blowing. I'm worried my husbands flight (united from Chicago) is going to end up canceled. Not that I want his travel home prolonged another day, but I'd almost rather him wait til tomorrow as I'll be worried about his drive home on the roads after dark tonight. Hope you make it to your parents' new home soon! |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 7:31
Airport closed here, too. It is so eerily quiet because we live about 20 min from the airport, and there are no planes taking off here. No cars on the road, and the light rail is supposedly running but I haven't heard their "beep-beep." I also haven't heard freight trains either. We are still getting light sleet and freezing rain, but I think more snow to come later today. Surprisingly, in our region, there have not been a lot of power outages. Just hope that holds for us. Coffee is ready! |
I hope you all haven't lost power. Our news said almost a million lost it overnight. We had an ice storm where we lost power for 3 weeks. The good news is it led to us remodeling our house and building a room with a cooking fireplace. lol I do want to say, if you have Yak Trax, please please wear them. If you don't have any, order some for next year. We had packed sleet a few years ago and I fell and hit my head on an antique iron wheel in the flowerbed. (I was reaching for the rain gauge, lol), and I found out it's true, that life does pass before you within seconds. I laid there waiting to die. Then I got up when I realized I wasn't. lol. I started bawling like a baby when I went inside because I was imagining my family's life without me. Yak Trax. Never leave home without them, no matter if you only have to walk a few feet! |

The snow has started here now and it is coming down at a good clip and we're supposed to get up to 40 mph wind gusts. We're planning on trying to clean it up around noon before the changeover to freezing rain as the snow is so much easier to move dry than wet. Tonight it's supposed to change back to snow again, so I'm sure we'll be cleaning it again on Friday am. DH calls it my aerobic snow shoveling! I do get a good upper body workout from it though.... And now they're talking more snow on Saturday. Yum! |
"SO FEW people in the middle/southern US seem to grasp this!!" These kinds of comments are every bit as encouraging as they are helpful, and we southerners always give them the merit they deserve. :) We have a beautiful snow blanket over everything, and I'm loving the view from my windows. |
We're stuck in Miami, which isn't so bad, except we were planning on flying to New Orleans to visit DS#3 and that got canceled. Haven't got a response from DS#1 in Atlanta this morning, hope he's got power. We'll fly back to CT tomorrow to dig out. What a winter! |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 10:46
Kellie .....I'm sure you've heard by now that Dulles is closed today....and I doubt your sister will be driving down from NY. Tomorrow could be just as bad as any untreated roads will be sheets of ice with temps in the 20's overnight. Hope you make it tomorrow! We are about 20 miles north of DC and we got 15" with more expected this afternoon. |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 10:46
Oakley, I have a friend who is originally from Idaho, and she swears by Yak Trax. Melsouth, safe travels for your DH. I am hoping my DH does not have to go to work tomorrow. They have some real estate closings scheduled, and I hope they will be able to move them. Last storm, I drove him in the AWD (my previous car was a 5-speed which he does not like to drive) because the clients insisted on closing even though they were not moving immediately. I should still be off school, but I had already planned on no class tomorrow because some of the students and I were supposed to be at the conference. |

My flight into Dulles isn't canceled yet so I remain hopeful. It's a late flight, doesn't land until after 9PM. Just talked to my mom and she seems to think that the worst of the storm is passed. So maybe they'll have time to clean up and re-open the airports! Perhaps just wishful thinking, but I figure they are going to want to get any flights they can in. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 11:33
Wow....the news this morning said Dulles was closed for today...guess they were wrong....do hope you make it tonight then. They said we are getting another 1-3" this afternoon. |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 11:40
Nope, just got canceled with no options at all so guess the trip is off :( Well the only option is to arrive Saturday night with a connection but considering we were leaving Monday that hardly seems worth it. |
- Posted by fourkids4us (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 12:27
Oh bummer, kellie! My husband, who had flown to Houston yesterday trying to get home, was supposed to fly to Chicago then Baltimore today. The Chicago-Baltimore portion ended up getting canceled. He was trying all kinds of options, including flying to Cleveland and driving home from there! At one point the agent said they couldn't get him home until Monday! He ended up getting on a flight to Newark, NJ (it took off an hour ago, so yay, looks like he will at least make it to the east coast). He's then taking Amtrak from Newark back to BWI airport. Thankfully the train stops there as his car is there. However, I will be worried sick about his drive home from the airport. It's on about 25 miles away and mostly highway, but there are always accidents on that highway, even on a clear day! And I'm sure the roads will referee after dark tonight. I hope you will be able to visit your parents' new home soon. Sorry you had to miss your trip. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 12:42
Kellie...so sorry...come back in April.....we can still get snow in March. Feb is usually the worst month..but this year has really been strange! Fourkids...hope your DH makes it home safe and sound (and sane)! |
- Posted by outsideplaying (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 13:39
Kellie, sorry about your trip being cancelled. Hope you can all reschedule on another, better weekend. Fourkids, hope you and your kids are making it just fine and that your DH will get home safe and sound. It's no fun being on the road and frustrated by weather delays. Been there, got that t-shirt and don't want any more. We lost power last night around 10:30 while getting ready for bed. It was still snowing big chunky flakes. The power finally came back on around 5:30 but not before the security alarm beeped a few times to let us know it was on battery power around 2:30 (we forgot to re-set it). Work was cancelled again so another snow day but temps are climbing in the upper 30's. Roads are still a mess. Our neighbors (who are out skiing in CO) had a pine tree fall across the road so the other 2 neighbors couldn't get out. Weird because we had been out walking and I had taken pictures. I looked back and around 9:30 there was no tree down. About an hour after we had come in (DH skied our 'hill') and we were putting things away, the tree uprooted from the weight of the snow. DH and the other neighbors got their chainsaws and cleared it. That was our big excitement today. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 14:45
Just got in from shoveling about 15" of snow and it just started raining before I finished so I got quite soaked. But we got most of it done with the snow blower while we could still blow it....once it gets soaked, fuggetaboutit. |
- Posted by cooperbailey (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 16:02
Here is one of my snow dog angels- Cooper. We got about 16 inches of snow here in MD with more forecast for tonight. Just thought a cheery photo would be fun. Bailey was warming her royal self in front of the fire while Cooper was outside playing. Keep warm and safe |
Here in my area (East TN), we had 6-8 inches (didn't measure) and it is beautiful. AND (more importantly!) it is already melting on the roads and our (steep) driveway. We've had a bit of sun today and the temps were enough to help the melting. Tonight will be colder though (20ish), so tomorrow morning will be icy. I've not been outside any further than the front porch and out the sunroom door - to take pictures. The school were I work part-time was closed today (never happens!), so I have been enjoying a nice day relaxing and a little bit of puttering around the house (and cooking!). Thankfully power was not lost here. MIL (undergoing chemo - lives alone), dad (83 lives alone) and grandmother (95 - lives in assisted living), all doing well. First thing I think about in this kind of weather! We are supposed to hit 60 next week - will love that! tina |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 16:31
Thanks for the commisseration but despite my canceled trip, I am on the good end of this deal. I feel for the ones who are having to live through it, or are stranded away from home. Fourkids....I hope he makes it home safe and sound! Cooper at least seems to be enjoying the snow! |
- Posted by fourkids4us (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 16:47
Love the picture of Bailey in the snow. My lab loves the snow...so fun to watch him run around in it. Outside, I'm used to weathering storms without dh-can't tell you how many times he's been heading home and gotten stranded, poor guy. My kids and I are fine...warm and toasty. I made a huge batch of marinara sauce and meatballs yesterday in case we lost power (I could reheat on gas range) then made a batch of cookies today with my youngest. Just started a wood fire, so we are cozy here and waiting on the final blast. Supposed to get 2-4" in the next few hours. Dh is currently standing on the train platform waiting on his train. Had a brief scare in Newark...first no available gates so they waited on runway for nearly an hour, then couldn't get the jetway connected to the plane b/c of all the snow and ice. I thought he was going to miss the train. Thankfully he texted me he's there on the platform so should arrive in MD in about 2.5 hrs. Hurray! And just got word school closed again tomorrow. Extra long weekend for my kids. They already have Monday and Tuesday off for winter break! |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Thu, Feb 13, 14 at 18:25
Snowing again here north of DC. Schools closed tomorrow, but they are going to announce later if admin offices (which means me) have to go in.....no sign of a plow on our street yet and DH is working from home so only managed to clear half the driveway...don't think I'm headed anywhere anytime soon! |
Love the picture of Cooper. Our Clouseau is the same way-loves the snow. Just came in, but only because I called him. Looked like a snowman since it is snowing again. Fairfax County school announced at 4:15 pm they were closed for tomorrow. Ha. That will teach them to take away our Presidents' Day holiday by making it a make-up day. ;) |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 7:33
There were 1,000 people stuck at the Charlotte airport. Yikes. Pretty much no flights all day. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 7:50
Woke up to another 3" of snow on top of slush and the expectation for 4" more tomorrow. It's getting to be we just don't know where to put the stuff. But they keep telling us that next week we'll have several days above freezing so some of it will melt. Let's hope so! |
- Posted by kellienoelle (My Page) on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 12:23
Fourkids - did you husband make it home safely? |
- Posted by kitschyKitch (My Page) on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 12:33
I have never been stuck in an airport, the first thing I do when there is a whiff of trouble is book a hotel. It looks so miserable! |
Yesterday we used our snow blower to clear 12" deep snow off the driveway. As we we blowing the snow, a snowplow came by and the driver looked as if he was going to push the snow across the driveway, but didn't dare do it while we were watching. We got about another inch of snow last night and woke up this morning to find 2 feet of packed, icy snow across our driveway. Revenge of the plowman? |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 14:50
Plow came threw a bit ago and it's 43...... But I think we are supposed to get a few more inches tomorrow. |
I hope ALL of you "snow affected" people are home safe & sound by now!!! Or...at least somewhere SAFE...?!??!?! Take it easy out there please my friends! Happy Valentines-Day!!! Faron |

In Rachel's Secret,when the wounded Irish American riverboat captain, Jeremiah Gant, bursts into the rural Amish setting of Riverhaven, he brings chaos and conflict to the community--especially for young widow, Rachel Brenneman. The unwelcome "outsider" needs a safe place to recuperate before continuing his secret role as an Underground Railroad conductor. Neither he nor Rachel is prepared for the forbidden love that threatens to endanger a man's mission, a woman's heart, and a way of life for an entire people.
In Where Grace Abides, the compelling second book in the series, Hoff offers her readers an even closer look at the Amish community of Riverhaven and the people who live and love and work there. Secrets, treachery, and persecution are only a few of the challenges that test Rachel's faith and her love for the forbidden "outsider," while Gant's own hopes and dreams are dealt a life–changing blow, rendering the vow he made to Rachel seemingly impossible to honor.

Two young women, Amish Grace Byler and graduate student Heather Nelson, stand as counterpoints in parallel plots involving two secrets. Grace's mother is troubled; Heather, whose mother has died of cancer, tells no one in her circle of her own diagnosis of terminal illness, which drives her to Pennsylvania Amish country in search of healing.

Should you do talk therapy for your depression?
Answer by:
WebMD Expert
Often, a few months of talk therapy can help a person going through stressful times. Because so many insurance companies won't cover psychotherapy, therapists have created shorter, goal-oriented approaches that work faster.
Interpersonal psychotherapy or IPT, is one such approach. It works by getting people to examine life events that triggered a bout of depression. Cognitive therapy is another approach. It works by getting people to recognize distorted attitudes and needlessly negative thoughts.

Harkin's strong belief in alternative medicine may stem in part from his experience taking a massive dose of bee-pollen capsules, which he claims cured his allergies. "Something has to be done to investigate these things, because it sure worked for me," he told a Senate panel in 1993. Harkin later claimed not to know that, at the time, the man who sold him the bee-pollen capsules was paying a $200,000 fine to the Federal Trade Commission for making false claims (e.g., that bee pollen would cure numerous ailments, and that it was consumed by "the risen Jesus Christ, when he came back to Earth") about his product in infomercials. But Harkin's efforts would soon lead to the creation of the Office of Alternative Medicine, predecessor to the NCCAM. Taken together, the two entities would fritter away billions of dollars of federal funds.
Last year, the Witherspoon Council on Ethics and the Integrity of Science released its inaugural report, The Stem Cell Debates: Lessons for Science and Politics. It describes the ways in which scientific information and the proper relationship between science and politics were habitually abused during the stem-cell debates. It lists ten common misrepresentations in those debates, and Harkin is guilty of perpetuating most of them.
For example, he and his office repeatedly invoked the false statistic that 100 million Americans were suffering from diseases that could be treated or cured through methods derived from embryonic-stem-cell research, which, he has repeatedly asserted, misleadingly, a "vast majority" of Americans support.
As the Washington Post reported, Harkin suggested that "only embryonic stem cells have the capacity to cure diabetes" and dismissed the potential of adult stem cells. He waved off possible alternatives to embryonic stem cells in general as "nothing but theories," falsely implying that embryonic-stem-cell research itself was already advanced beyond the theoretical stage.
Harkin's statements at a 2005 Senate hearing further evinced his loose grasp on scientific and ethical issues. For example, in an exchange with William Hurlbut, Harkin began: "I guess, Dr. Hurlbut, since we are talking about this, you went to Stanford; they teach logic at Stanford, I am sure. If A equals B, and B equals C, A must equal C. So, let us start with that for logic."
Shortly later, he fleshed out his argument:
What I am trying to get to is if (A) you do not find in vitro fertilization morally objectionable, private or public, whatever, by the very fact that you have [IVF], you are going to create surplus embryos. That is a fact on which we can all agree; therefore, that is (B). Therefore, (C), if you believe that in vitro fertilization is okay, and it is morally all right for couples to pursue, then you are (C) going to have excess embryos.
Harkin apparently took this as a simple logical proof that IVF is morally equivalent to embryonic-stem-cell research and offered no direct response to Hurlbut's point that some countries allow IVF while prohibiting the creation of excess embryos.
Harkin's use of rhetorical posturing to cover for scientifically and ethically uninformed reasoning typified his public statements on stem-cell research. In July 2006, when President Bush vetoed legislation to overturn the ban on federal funding for research that would destroy embryos, Harkin took to the Senate floor to call Bush a "moral ayatollah." The following month, at an event put on by the Center for American Progress (CAP), Harkin repeated the charge and (around 8:00 in the video) called the Bush policy of funding only those embryonic-stem-cell lines that were derived before the policy's implementation "totally arbitrary." Either Harkin, who had then been in Congress for over three decades, was unfamiliar with the legislative principle of grandfathering, or he cynically chose to distort a policy he disagreed with rather than provide an argument against the actual reasoning for it.

15 There is no comparison between [God's] gift and [Adam's] failure.

on April 3, 2013"This is a basic spin off a Boulevardier, substituting rye as the base instead of the usual bourbon. I was torn between a few whiskeys, but I decided on Bulleit because it has a great amount of spice. I threw in a bit of cherry heering for sweetness, and we also use a Scotch rinse to add some smoke to the drink. The bitterness of the Campari balances well with both the cherry heering and the Carpano Antica.
"Really this is a pretty straightforward manhattan-style cocktail. Don't go overboard with the Scotch rinse, and don't over-stir it (or else you'll dilute the drink)." Michael Lay, Restaurant 1833, Monterey, Cali.

Ben Makuch looks at the severe environment of Canada's Arctic and how UAV design is constrained by those conditions:
"A lot of these systems — UAVs particularly, and rotor-wing (that is to say helicopters or quadrotors) — are even more sensitive. They require a good understanding of what they're heading in. And by heading, that's kind of the direction you're facing," said Monckton.
And because of those difficulties, finding headings for aerial drones in the Arctic requires stronger GPS systems to establish a "line segment" of locational data, ripped, according to Monckton, from a "crown" of satellites hovering on top of Earth.
In terms of weather conditions, the extreme sub-zero temperatures is devastating on a UAV when you mix in fog or clouds. While crisp cool air with clear skies provides excellent flying conditions, once you mix in ice fog, it becomes a major risk to small UAVs.
"The biggest risk in the Arctic is structural icing," said Monckton who explained that water in the clouds is so cool that when "you strike it, it actually crystallizes on contact."
Unsurprisingly, the wings of a drone being enveloped in ice presents "a major impediment to general unmanned air operations," Monckton said. In part, because "UAVs are too small to carry standard deicing equipment [as used] on a commercial aircraft. So that's a major problem."
For the project, DRDC took a previously manned helicopter and modified it into an unmanned vehicle. They had help from Calgary-based Meggit Canada for the project, a defence and security contractor also responsible for this armed training hexicopter.
As for ground drones, or unmanned ground vehicles, Monckton said weather and temperature were an afterthought. The real challenge, was the actual terrain.
"The arctic has a really peculiar surface," said Monckton, adding that the high Arctic offers mostly marshlands, rocky outcrops, or elevated permafrost that produces spiky formations. "So the UGV was kind of going between easy riding on sloppy stuff and then getting pounded to pieces on the rough frost boils."

Which lunch would you drop
if paying OOP?
We have 4 days scheduled for Epcot, and I need to drop one of these proposed lunches: 1. Le Cellier 2. Les Chefs 3. Teppan Edo 4. Biergarten 5. Via Napoli Biergarten and Les Chefs will likely be the least expensive (at Les Chef's, we'd likely order off the lunch prix fixe menu). LeCellier looks to be the most expensive, Teppan Edo second, and Via Napoli third. If trying to balace out: (1) quality of the food; (2) quality/uniqueness of the overall experience; and (3) value paying OOP, which would you drop? (FWIW, we have two kids ages 10 and 4 and, as far as Teppan Edo goes, don't have an hibachi place in our area) |
I would drop Le Cellier because it is SO expensive now, and probably has the environment your children would least enjoy.
No matter how tasty it may be, I can't imagine paying $42 OOP for a steak at lunch time. |
Le Cellier due to price and atmosphere for kids. The last time I went the food was good, but I wouldn't pay that much for it OOP
If you have a good hibachi steakhouse in your area, I'd drop Teppan Edo. Next in line, would be Le Cellier.
We've eaten at LeCellier exactly twice (before the upgrade to Signature) and we eat at Teppan Edo on every trip.
I would definitely skip LeCellier, especially where you say you don't have a hibachi steakhouse at home. My DD is grown up now, but she always loved watching the chef perform, and - even as a picky eater - she loves the food. |
Le Cellier.
Le Cellier. While it's good, it's overrated. I think you'll have quality food and a better atmosphere at the other places. Plus, the other places will be less expensive.
While I like Le Cellier and go on every trip, I concur that it probably makes the most sense to drop it from your list. It's a pricey meal, so you want to be able to eat leisurely and enjoy it. There isn't much for kids to see and the tables are really close together.
I agree to drop Le Cellier as it will also be the least entertaining for the kids.
No contest---LeCellier should go. The kids may enjoy seeing Remy @ Chefs and the chefs @ Teppan Edo are very entertaining so I'd definitely keep those 2.
Le Cellier. I think the atmosphere is horrible for kids. For adults, it's just poor.
I agree with dropping Teppan Edo. I would say Le Cellier because of the cost but I love to go there for lunch and just have the pretzel bread and cheese soup.
My kids liked Teppan Edo.
If the party was all adults, I'd drop Teppan Edo but like I said, that dungeon really isn't a fun atmosphere. |

Help with Ad On Blog, html + css
Currently going through some tinkering on my blog www.internetwrestlingnews.com (not for promotion, so you can view source!)
The page shows my title in the top left then a large big space next to it on the right (the top right of the page, above the search bar) I want an ad there.
Where would I put the html code and what css code would be used for the positioning to put it to the right?
the ad would be 468 x 60 pixels just to the side of the title. I can get the Ad code if you need it, just wondering where I would paste it....and what the CSS would be to move it to the right?
Would I just float it to the right or?
ThanksDon't Click Here!

Maybe this could work: Add the ability to kick a person from champ select by vote and ban them from que for 2 minutes The majority would have to vote against the person being kicked. That way, trollers could be kicked before u even waste 50 minutes! one more thing: Only have this option available in solo ques of any game type to prevent trollers and their trolling friends to troll a que by voting a person out just to wait for another person to join the que to kick them again. In a solo que, if you are teamed with pre-mades, And should they wish to kick you from the que: premade votes count as 1/2 of a vote. This is probably flawed but it took me 5 mins to come up with it, is it good?
I get really annoyed as well. I don't mind the call it if you want it, but people need to be a bit more flexible. I always say 'I prefer mid' and even if I say it first and someone calls it after me, I'll concede and play something else, regardless of whether or not I pick first. I just don't care enough to fight over it. What really irritates me is when premade groups take what they want and don't communicate with us solo queuers. I think that adding a role choice would be bad though. Aside form people saying one thing and doing another, the queue time would jump up and in the end you would forfeit any chance you previously stood at getting the spot you really want because the queue times would be 20 minutes long for popular spots just got get paired with a troll who queue dodges and throws you back into the queue. I think this idea would just give the trolls more ways to ruin your day, not less. I most like the idea of a group kick option, especially when the leader in draft dcs, doesn't ban, gets randomed after a long wait, and then we sit through the entire queue just waiting for it to kick back. I don't like it at the same time because trolls can just group together and kick the other people forcing them to wait before they can get into another game for no reason. I think the current queue dodge method, though sucks, is still the best way to go.
I've seen and been a successful Sona top :P
The main problem with this that I see, (not sure if someone said this, but whatever) is that people can play champions anywhere really. Let's say I pick jungle, and I'm in as you jungle and BAM I pick jungle Karthus or something people would rage at, or AD carry and I pick Sona It wouldn't fix much, but it may help
Senior Member
man...the fun of game is that u need to understand all the roles of evey player to get better dude.... like when i was jungler i did some stuff but like when i got top i understood that some stuff i did as jungler complitelly fked top...like taking his farm or pushing his lane when top is underlvled... so no i am against such a system it'll allow noobs to go up in elo... but like they'll do so many mistake... it will not be funny for high elo player...
It also bugs me when I queue with a friend in blind so we call top lane and someone decides to jungle just because we wanted to top lane together. Then either we have to deal with bot or bot is soloing.
Sounds good in theory, but probably not going to work in practice. If every game people follow the same team composition, then the items build for each game for each role would be very similar. And that take away the fun from the game. For example, if I pick Irelia solo top in a game which the enemy team have the standard team composition, I would almost always get Mercury's Treads. However, let's say if the enemy team have 5 ads (i have seen this alot, since everybody wants to "carry"), then i would be stupid if i buy Mercury's Treads. Therefore, i always counter-build my champion in a game. On the other hand, if there's only one troll in your game, you're not likely to lose. The reason is since they fed the enemy so much, killing in again will not give them that much gold anymore. What you have to do, though, is communicating with the rest of your 3 teammates, have a 4 on 5 fight. It is definitely hard, but if you know who to focus first, then it is do-able. So my point is, having a troll on your team is a bad thing, but it would definitely make you a better player, since you're more likely to do stuff such as buying wards, communicating with your teammates, gank more often, push together,and last but not least, counter-build, to try to get back to the game. And another thing is, what if your team have the proper team composition, one jungler, and one solo top, but the enemy team have 2 ranged at top? your solo top can't farm, and you can't gank, since they can kite you. you lose the game by following the proper team composition.
This would never work, only because as youre playing draft, you are thinking of counter picks, you should be working as a team to decide what you should play, and by mid-late game when laning phase is over it doesn't even matter. Plus many champions can play multiple roles, dont be stuck in the "Im Playing [Kassadin, Xerath, Annie, Leblanc, Gragas, Viegar, ect.] SO I NEED TO PLAY MID!" This isnt true, many times these champions that are classified are wrongly given titles and roles. try just playing and youll see this happen. The categories people make is unnecessary, because honestly any champion can play in any lane, a good player can make it work.
Think about this though. Some people are terrible with anything but their 'main'. They have tried off chars, hoping they can get good at multiple positions, but when they do, they are trolled. In preemptive defense, they say give me XXXX or I troll. They are actually playing defensively b/c they know what their strengths and weaknesses, and if they don't threaten, they will be made fun of. ..just something I've been thinking about as I troll others and get pissed when I play 1 of the 4 chars I suck at. The game can be abrasive to people, esp b/c people who say they don't 'care' about losing a game are in fact wasting 45 min of their life (as well as four to 10 others).

The literal sense of edacious is "relating to eating", since it comes from the Latin verb edere, to eat. But even in Latin it had a stronger sense of voracious consumption and that was carried with it into English.
It was brought into the language — surprisingly recently — by classically educated writers at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It never really caught on and is now almost extinct, perhaps because voracious is a better established and more vigorous-sounding alternative.
The Roman writer Ovid created a maxim in his Metamorphoses: "Tempus edax rerum", time devours everything. As a result, in its rare appearances the word is most likely to be linked with time. Thomas Carlyle used it in this way when he referred to events "swallowed in the depths of edacious time".

Who were and who are the Algonquin?
Multimedia Turtle Island _______________ |
The Algonquin Indians are the most populous and widespread North American Native groups, with tribes originally numbering in the hundreds and speaking several related dialects. They inhabited most of the Canadian region south of Hudson Bay between the Rockies and the Atlantic Ocean and, bypassing select territories held by the Sioux and Iroquois, the latter of whom had driven them out of their territory along the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers in the 17th and 18th centuries. Algonquin (or
Algonkin) are used in reference to the tribe, but Algonquian either refers to the
Algonquin language or to the group of tribes that speak related dialects.
The word "Algonquin" means "At the place of spearing fishes
and eels". For more information or if your writing a report about Algonquins, Amazon sells three books that might be helpful. Barns & Noble also sells one.

spread through the lymph system and the bloodstream to other sites in the lungs as well as the brain, bone, and kidneys. The most common site of infection—and active tuberculosis—is the upper part of the lungs.
As they spread, the tuberculosis bacteria will usually provoke a further, more powerful infection-fighting response that physically contains the bacteria in hard, immune-cell clusters called granulomas. (Tuberculous granulomas are called tubercles.) This process normally stops further multiplication and spread of the bacteria. Some bacteria may, however, remain alive within a granuloma for years, even decades. This condition is described as latent infection with M. tuberculosis. As described below, the surviving bacteria have the potential to cause active tuberculosis at a later time. A successful immune response to tuberculosis bacteria generally takes between 2 and 10 weeks to develop.
The great majority of those with latent tuberculosis infection never develop active disease, have no symptoms, and do not infect others. No national data on tuberculosis infection are available. Estimates prepared for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) put the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection in the United States in 1994 at about 6 to 7 percent of the population over age 18 years (62 FR 201, October 17, 1997). As discussed in Chapter 5 and Appendix C, rates of infection and disease vary considerably among racial, ethnic and other population subgroups.
It is often stated that an estimated 10 percent of those infected with M. tuberculosis will develop active tuberculosis if their latent infection is not treated (see, e.g., CDC [2000a]). This number has, however, been questioned (see Chapter 7 and Appendix C), and it likely overstates the risk for most workers, in part because the rate of progression from untreated infection to active disease varies by age. Studies conducted in the 1960s and 1970s indicate peaks in progression for young children (approximately ages 1 to 4) and for those in adolescence and early adulthood (approximately ages 13 to 24) (Comstock, 2000) .7 Rates for working-age adults are lower.
Studies suggest that the highest risk of progression to active disease is during the first 1 to 2 years following infection with M. tuberculosis. As discussed further below, treatment of latent tuberculosis infection substantially reduces the risk of progression to active disease.

The St. Louis Cardinals wrapped up their second straight National League Central title Sunday afternoon while finishing off warm-ups. After failing to close the door Saturday night, the division championship came down to the last day of the season, and for perhaps the first time ever, had St. Louis fans rooting for Johnny Cueto and the Reds against the Pittsburg Pirates. Separated by three time zones, and with Cueto picking up his twentieth win of the season, the Cards were able to secure the division without having to win Sunday's game (a game they won anyway). This marks the ninth division title for the Cardinals since the inception of the NL Central during the 1994 realignment.
The season began with lofty expectations from both local and national pundits. Many considered the Cardinals to have a 100 win potential and easily capture the division crown. Nothing in baseball, however, seems to go as planned. The club battled an underachieving offense, inconsistent play most of the season, and injuries to key players, but finished the season strong. Taking over the Central division lead at the start of September, the Cardinals at a .654 clip (17-9) the final month to end the season 18 games over .500, with a record of 90-72.
Now, with the 162-game MLB season in the rearview mirror, the team can focus on baseball's "second season," which starts Friday night in Los Angeles in a rematch of last season's NLCS. The teams may be the same, but there are several differences between this year's and last year's series. The Cardinals come in as the clear underdog. The Dodgers, as the higher seed, own home-field advantage and the Cardinals have not been good on the road, playing three games under .500 as the visitor. The Dodgers won three out of four games from the Cardinals in Los Angeles earlier this season, outscoring the Cards 17-4 in that series, shutting them out in two games. The Cardinals offense was at times anemic this season, finishing last in the NL in home runs (105), second to last in stolen bases (57), and tenth in runs scored (619). The 619 runs the Cardinals scored are the lowest of any playoff team and 99 less than the Dodgers scored. If the Cardinals want to advance past the NLDS, they are going to have to find a way to generate some offense against a pitching staff that features Cy Young award winners Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke.
One of my favorite things about sports in general is the history of the games. The undeniable legends who stood taller than everyone else, the greatest plays in history, the indelible moments that come to define legacies.
Like any institution, often these sports attempt to embrace their past, encouraging people and the participants of their sports to learn the history of the game. The name Jackie Robinson may not exactly be a household name, but you would likely be able to find a large portion of the population who is at least familiar with the name. MLB embraces Robinson's contributions and has an annual Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, during which all MLB players wear the number 42, the number Jackie wore when he broke the color barrier. Some fans like it, some find it annoying. Whether or not you enjoy it, it's hard to deny that MLB has gotten their point across.
With the 2014 edition of SummerSlam happening this Sunday, it only seemed fitting that the ReviewStl Wrestling Podcast make it's return!
On this episode, I am joined by Jeremy and Jake. We break down this Sunday's SummerSlam card and give our predictions. We also talk about some of our favorite SummerSlam moments from the past.
Feel free to leave your thoughts or predictions on this Sunday's show or talk about some of your favorite SummerSlam matches.
WWE Payback was just what the doctor ordered for the WWE: an entertaining pay per view.
It's just a shame that the company has done a lousy job of promoting the last two pay per view's. Both have featured some great wrestling and wonderful story telling. Sunday's event kicked off with Cesaro vs. Sheamus. Paul Heyman shut the crowd up with their CM Punk chants right off the bat, saying that he was over at the United Center watching the Blackhawks. He isn't the best manager in the business for nothing folks. Both men worked a stiff match, which was welcomed by the fans in attendance, as well as myself at home. There were several near falls, as both men took some hard bumps. I really thought Cesaro would win this match, and it looked like he had it as he went for the Neutralizer. Sheamus surprised everyone as he countered the move with a small package to retain the title. It was a great opening match. These two are nowhere near done with each other. I could see atleast another pay per view battle between Cesaro and Sheamus.
The next match up was the Rhodes Brothers and Rybaxel. Besides the Diva's match, this may have been the weakest match of the night, but it still told a compelling story. Rybaxel got the win, but the main story happened after the match. Cody left Goldust alone in the ring, telling him he needed to find a better partner. And the split of the Rhodes Brothers begins. I look for them two to battle at Summerslam.
To say the WWE's booking of Extreme Rules was poor would be an understatement. It seemed like no one cared to watch this pay per view, but in the end I'm pretty sure most wrestling fans were pleasantly surprised.
The show kicked off with a triple threat match between RVD, Jack Swagger, and Cesaro. This was a fun match to watch, as all three men worked well together. Cesaro, deservedly came out with the win, but the crowd was hot for RVD, chanting "ECW" throughout the match. I think it's time to get Cesaro into the title hunt, whether it be the United States, Intercontinental, or Heavyweight title picture, he's ready.
The Big E and Wade Barrett match was quite fun to watch as well. Both men worked their asses off in the ring, and I think it was pretty suspenseful for a while. Big E looks like he could be a legit mid-card guy. I once had my doubts about him. One thing there is no doubt about is Barrett is way over with the fans. I know that WWE is pushing him as a heel, but it's not working. The WWE Universe loves his "I have some bad news…" announcements. I think it was a smart move to put the belt on him. I can see him feuding with Big E for another pay per view or two.

The New York Public Library (NYPL) has abandoned the Foster + Partners-designed renovation of its Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, it has been announced. The NYPL now intends to 'take a look with fresh eyes and see if there is a way to improve the plans and to stay on budget'.
The original plans proposed by Foster + Partners suggested replacing the existing book stacks under the main reading room at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building with a new lending library, to be paid for with $150m of funding from New York City and through the sale of the Mid-Manhattan Library and the Science, Industry and Business Library in the former B. Altman Building.
A statement from NYPL President Tony Marx indicates that the institution now plans to renovate the Mid-Manhattan Library at its current site. The full statement from Marx can be found here.

Study finds people would rather be electrically shocked than left alone to think
A new study found that people would rather be electrically shocked than be alone with their thoughts.
Whether it's in traffic or at work daydreaming, Southern Californians certainly have the opportunity to get lost in their thoughts. However, a new study has shown that people have an issue being left alone with their minds.
The study conducted by the University of Virginia found that 67 percent of men and 25 percent of women were more inclined to shock themselves with electricity rather than sit alone with their thoughts.
Timothy Wilson, co-author of the study, said that people got caught up in their own shortcomings and pensive thought-cycles when left alone with their minds. During the study, individuals were placed in rooms and asked to either think about specific subjects or engage in a topic of their choice for 6 to 15 minutes. 50 percent of people claimed to dislike the experience, citing boredom as the number one discomfort.
In your everyday life, how do you manage your thoughts? Is your "shock" something a little less drastic, like music or reading? Do you enjoy having time alone to simply think?

One of the loudest kids was a boy he'd been warned about, Alex, who was leading his friends in what seemed to be a screaming contest. Exasperated from trying to yell over the din, Trost pulled Alex aside and told him to get a handle on his "out of control" behavior.
Trost's lecture had little effect. The next day Alex, his friend Eric and several other boys were back at it. Trost demanded that Alex sit down and stop "bouncing off the walls." Alex quieted down. He stood in back for the rest of the period, refusing to participate and following his teacher's every move with a cold stare.
The boy's rowdiness had angered him, but Trost found this new response chilling. There was a lot of anger in that stare, and he wondered at its source. This kid is over the edge, he thought. After class Trost saw Alex's faculty advisor in the hallway and told her about the incident.
"You better go talk to Buffy and get this documented," the advisor said, "before this blows into something else."
Frightened by the implication, he turned and walked to Berger's office, where he repeated the story. She told him to write down what had happened and give his summary to the advisor to place in Alex's file.
Trost wrote the memorandum that day. Noting that Alex had "stared daggers" for the rest of the day's class, he concluded, "This may become a problem, so I wanted you to know ahead of time."
It was a Thursday, and the week ended uneventfully. So early the next week, when Berger approached and asked if he would come to her office when he got a chance, Trost was not alarmed; he thought she was just checking in to see how he was progressing with the behavioral problems of some of his students. But warning bells began to sound when Berger closed the door and said, "I have to talk to you about something I'm uncomfortable with."
Eric was accusing Trost of having "grabbed his butt," she said. And Alex claimed to have witnessed the incident.
At some point in the conversation, Larry Dougherty, Graland's headmaster, entered the room. He assured Trost that they were working with the parents to get to the bottom of the accusations. The parents wanted to keep the whole thing "under wraps," he said.
However, Dougherty continued, the school was required to report such an accusation to the state's Department of Social Services. And because the incident was alleged to have occurred at a school, the department was required by Colorado law to ask the police to investigate.
Trost shook his head, dazed. It wasn't true, he said. He hadn't touched the boy. Berger, who noted that she had been in the classroom on the day in question and had not seen such an incident, said she would personally interview the two students.
Trost asked if he could have the rest of the day off--there was no way he could handle going back to class. The administrators nodded. Yes, that was probably the best thing.
Instead of going home to his apartment, Trost drove over to the Watermans' and screamed out his story. "You won't believe what I'm being accused of," he told them. After seventeen exemplary years as a teacher, he couldn't imagine a more heinous charge than molesting a child.
As Trost ranted and paced and then began to cry, Marcus Waterman thought the accusation was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard. J.B., of all people. He had known his friend for fifteen years. He knew his children, even some of his students--the man loved kids and would never do anything to hurt them.
When Trost finally calmed down, he asked his friends if they thought he should just resign and walk away. They convinced him to stick it out and fight--not just for his own sake, but also to prove that kids couldn't get away with this.
Trost returned to school the next day, convinced the allegations would soon be exposed as nothing but lies. Over the next few days he kept calling the dean of the faculty to see if there was any word regarding the investigation. Again he was assured that the administration was working with the parents. "Fine," Trost told her. "Let's get together and talk and see if we can get to the bottom of this." But it turned out the parents didn't want to meet with him.
Finally, Trost was called into Dougherty's office. Berger was there, too, with notes she had made during her January 20 interviews with the boys.
According to those notes, Eric acknowledged that he, Alex and two other friends had been talking in class on the day in question. He said Trost had asked him to calm down and "grabbed his shoulder and ran his hand down his back," then grabbed his butt. "Not a pinch, but a grab--a quick grab," Eric had told Berger.

Leader-Telegram (Wisconsin) on the wealth gap (Jan. 12): Just-released figures leave no doubt that there is a canyon-wide wage gap in this country. Less clear is what if anything to do about it. Income 2012 tax numbers parsed by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation tell the story: • The top 1 percent (1.3 million filers) paid a greater share of income taxes (38 percent) than the bottom 90 percent (122.4 million filers), who paid 30 percent.
Outgunning Robertson 46-26 in the second half, the Mora Rangers claimed a significant 81-60 non-district victory Tuesday night at Mike Marr Gym.
The game carried a playoff-like intensity and drew a crowd to match, as fans of both schools crowded into the facility to cheer on a pair of teams that have climbed in the state rankings in recent weeks.
NMHU Sports Information
In a vote of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference sports information directors, New Mexico Highlands senior Salcia Slack was named RMAC Field Athlete of the Week on Wednesday.
This past weekend at the Texas Tech Open in Lubbock, Texas, Slack moved into the top five in the nation in three different events while moving into the top 10 in a fourth as she qualified for the NCAAs in all four events.
Ricky Norris, a sophomore guard, has been named the NMHU Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week.
Norris helped the Cowboys sweep a weekend in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play for the first time in nearly two years with career highs in both rebounds and points to record a pair of double-doubles.
